Paperback. Zustand: Good. Bridge is a game of mistakes.The best players make fewer mistakes. It's not a matter of being brilliant The real expert players never make basic mistakes, they keep the ball in the court, in the fairway. Sure there is an occasional hand where they make a brilliant play but that's not what distinguishes the true expert from the good player. One often hears an expert say I've seen this hand before. What does he mean? No, he hasn't seen the hand record;he recognizes the hand type. After all, there are only a finite number of hand types in bridge. For example, second suit hands, cross-ruffs, ruffing in dummy, a simple finesse, an elimination, a dummy reversal and a couple of others. You can't reinvent bridge every time a hand comes down. If you recognize the type, then you have some idea or plan of how to go about trying to make your contract. But one of the biggest mistakes non-expert players make is playing to trick one, then looking around and deciding what to do next. And in many cases, it's already too late. The key to the hand was trick one. But sorry, no mulligans in bridge. So this book will present a series of hands, all as quizzes but of course you have a big clue from the title. Nevertheless, I hope you will find the hands and following discussions interesting enough to help you learn to do your thinking before not after you play that first card. Spe.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Creative scientists often defy the scientific establishment. Such scientists may choose to go their own way with respect to theory, research paradigm, philosophical orientation, or subject matter studied. The risks can be great, and such defiance can result in rejected articles, unfunded grant proposals, and in extreme cases, scientific oblivion. Yet these defiant scientists are often the ones whose lives live on, while the work of those scientists who conform to existing scientific tastes often dies with them. Of course, many conforming psychologists have done great and significant work. But the question is can a scientist not conform and still win? This volume provides honest and often humorous personal histories from eminent psychologists who chose the path of the non-conformist. They share the strategies that helped them manage opposing forces as well as insights on shaping a successful and fulfilling career. The book presents advice and wisdom for those who are charting a course in the field of psychology.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this groundbreaking work, Robert Sternberg opens the book of love and shows you how to discover your own story--and how to read your relationships in a whole new light. What draws us so strongly to some people and repels us from others? What makes some relationships work so smoothly and others burst into flames? Sternberg gives us new answers to these questions by showing that the kind of relationship we create depends on the kind of love stories we carry inside us. Drawing on extensive research and fascinating examples of real couples, Sternberg identifies 26 types of love story--including the fantasy story, the business story, the collector story, the horror story, and many others--each with its distinctive advantages and pitfalls, and many of which are clashingly incompatible. These are the largely unconscious preconceptions that guide our romantic choices, and it is only by becoming aware of the kind of story we have about love that we gain the freedom to create more fulfilling and lasting relationships. As long as we remain oblivious to the role our stories play, we are likely to repeat the same mistakes again and again. But the enlivening good news this book brings us is that though our stories drive us, we can revise them and learn to choose partners whose stories are more compatible with our own. Quizzes in each chapter help you to see which stories you identify with most strongly and which apply to your partner. Are you a traveler, a gardener, a teacher, or something else entirely? Love is a Story shows you how to find out.…
